While I was looking at my (ahem) second favourite website, 'TV Cream', I came across an article about classic 'Top Of The Pops' moments, including this wonderful little piece of nonsense nostalgia... most people only had one 'moment' each but, as usual, our Moz has to go that little bit further...
(more)
"Morrissey was responsible for many of the Pops' finest moments: The Smiths doing 'William It Was Really Nothing' and illustrating the line "would you like to marry me?" by having Morrissey rip his shirt open revealing the words, written in eyeliner, so legend has it. (cf. Mozzer "machine-gunning" the audience, Billy Liar style, during "How Soon Is Now", Mozzer glaring with utter hatred at member of audience that whooped during "Sheila Take A Bow", Mozzer just being Mozzer (early incarnation) during "What Difference Does It Make?" (open shirt, flowers, hearing aid, beads, flailing - audience flag waving and wearing head-bands/braces), Mozzer having the word "BAD" stencilled on his neck during "The Boy With The Thorn..." (having just returned from a disastrous US tour). And on "Whistle Test (when it was still Old and Grey), The Smiths en masse in school uniforms for "Bigmouth Strikes Again". Them was rotten days..."
'TV Cream' is incredibly well researched and well written throughout, and also very very funny... and I'm deeply impressed that its writers are seemingly Smiths fans...

Also in the shows index, there's an entry for a mid 80's game show (forget which one) where some of the contestants were Morrissey lookalikes. And in one pic, 2 of the 3 do look like Moz a bit! haha!
